It labels the behavior as 'silly' rather than 'bad', which is a hallmark of Danish upbringing. In Danish offices, 'pjat' is common during coffee breaks. It helps build 'social capital' and trust between colleagues. The phrase is the safety net for Danish irony. Without it, many ironic statements would be taken literally and cause offense.
